Wed, 30 Nov 2016 21:32:54 +0000http://aapa.cyberbee.net/?p=517We have a FULL two days of exciting talks and presentations planned for the American Bee Research Conference in Galveston, TX on January 12 and 13, 2017. We’re looking forward to a great meeting!

As a reminder, PRE-REGISTRATION IS DUE DEC 16. If you want to attend the North American Beekeeping Conference prior to the start of ABRC (on Mon-Wed), then you MUST PRE-REGISTER. This is a change enforced by the beekeeping convention organizers and this is the only way that registering for ABRC also covers registration for the beekeeping conference.

Pre-registration and RSVP-ing for the AAPA catered lunch business meeting on Friday is also required by Dec 16. Those that do not RSVP for the lunch are welcome at the business meeting but will not be able to have the provided lunch. If you are receiving registration through the NABC, please RSVP for the lunch by e-mailing me at Michael.simonefinstrom@ars.usda.gov.

The scholarship will consist of a $1000 stipend for research. Undergraduates or graduate students working in North America with Apis are eligible. Nominees must be students of active AAPA members to be eligible for this scholarship. Recipients of this scholarship will be ineligible for future AAPA Student Research Scholarships.

Proposals: Each research scholarship proposal must include a curriculum vitae of the nominee, one letter of recommendation, and a summary of the research problem not to exceed three pages double-spaced. The summary must include objectives, significance and methods. Nominees may also include up to three publication reprints, submitted manuscripts or abstracts of theses or dissertations. The submissions should be electronically sent in PDF files.

The American Association of Professional Apiculturists, Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists and the Apiary Inspectors of America are joining the 2017 North American Beekeeping Conference & Tradeshow in Galveston, TX on January 12-13, 2016 (all day Thursday and Friday). The full conference is a joint meeting of the American Beekeeping Federation, American Honey Producers Association and the Canadian Honey Council, so it is sure to be a busy and productive venture!

Registration and presentation submission opens September 24! Titles and abstracts must be submitted by November 1, 2016. If you have research to share involving the genus Apis, we welcome your submissions. Abstracts are required at the time of registration. Due to the combined meeting, we may have to select oral presentations, so access to abstracts will help with this process. Posters are also encouraged, and we will have an evening poster session. We are looking forward to an outstanding meeting full of exciting talks and poster presentations, headlined by our keynote speakers, Jeff Pettis and Steve Pernal.

Please note that the deadline for applying for the AAPA Scholarship Award is November first. Please contact Ann Harman at ahworkb@aol.com if you are interested.

Pre-registration is required for those who wish to present and for AAPA members who want to enjoy a catered lunch during our business meeting on Friday, January 13.

Please pass this information to your students and any other interested parties. Feel free to contact us with any questions that you may have.

We hope you’ll be able to join us in Galveston!
